1998 Dodge Ram Pickup Larime SLT 4x4 Club Cab review from North America

"Mexican Built Dodges Suck, and so do Dodge Dealers.."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission 25+ times 10 time went out dealer mechanic.

Aluminum Alloy 5 spoke Rim snapped in half?

Can't count high enough! But AC Condenser failures, when they fix this then Heater core would be broken, They fix the heater core the AC would leak freon.

The last time I took it in they wanted to charge me $600.00 to fix heater core, so I cut ducting so I wouldn't have to disturb the AC condenor, and fixed it $80 cost of the aluminum heater core, Dodge uses super corroding copper or something it was all green and it was only a month old...

Real axle (Posi) Failure, said it was due to off roading and truck never seen off road conditions at the time...

Dana 44 front axle (this broke on the dirt path to go where the actual off road trail is.

Bad paint.

2 bad radios.

Tail gate would never stay closed.

ABS brakes never worked right... First it would never stop, now if you have to panic stop the brakes lock up. If ABS light comes on when I start I know I can stop... (which should mean there is something wrong) If the light is off Flip a coin, you might stop you might not..

Truck used to use a quart of oil every 2 weeks. Dealers said this was normal...

Then it got a quart a week... They still consider it normal... Engine never ran right, has tons of valve float, and intake manifold keeps coming loosing. If I tighten it oil consumtion goes almost away for like 2 weeks. Uses antifreeze too. But they are not mixing?

Plus it gets horrible gas mileage 7 miles to the gallon last week highway. I guess it's from all the normal oil consumption going on.

General comments?

Has some of the best cup holders, in any vehicle... Not a good selling point unless you get 3500 model... And don't get the v-10 get diesel

Only real good comment I can give it.

Just make sure your not buying the Mexican built model.
